United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, has described the recent killings of Christians in Nigeria as a “genocide wearing the mask of chaos,” according to DAILY POST. Waltz made the statement on Tuesday during an event hosted by the United States Mission to the United Nations.
The event focused on religious violence and the targeted killings of Christians in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country. Waltz’s comments coincided with growing international scrutiny over the escalating attacks, which have sparked widespread concern among global human rights groups.
Earlier reports indicated that American rap icon Nicki Minaj and Waltz were expected to headline the UN event this week, which aims to address allegations of systematic persecution and killings of Christians in Nigeria. The engagement is being facilitated by political strategist Alex Bruesewitz, marking one of the most high-profile global interventions on Nigeria’s religious-violence crisis in recent times.
“This genocide must be addressed before more lives are lost,” Waltz reportedly said, underscoring the urgent need for international attention and intervention. The UN event has drawn attention to Nigeria’s persistent religious violence, highlighting calls for stronger measures to protect vulnerable communities and prevent further atrocities.
The intervention by Waltz and other international figures signals heightened global concern over the safety of religious minorities in Nigeria.
